Hey forum, so this is my first post and I need some help to choose a new case and a new psu. Since I'm only 16 years old, I can't afford anything to expensive.

For the cases, I kniw that caselabs cases are expensive, but they are worth it, but I like the gaming look of the storm trooper, the clean look and everything of the 900D,  the expandibility of the HAF Stacker, and again everything about the air 540 (plus I can get it for 100$ from linus). So it's really hard for me to decide :(

 

As for the psu, I'm just undecided between the EVGA supernova series, the corsair AXi series and the cooler master silent pro hybrid. Either way, I need a modular psu since I have a non-modular one now and I hate it.

 

Either way, thank you for your support and your help!!

RAM: 16 gb g.skill 2133 mhz
PSU: CoolerMaster GX 750 Watt

Why do you need to replace your psu? It is enough to power 2x GTX 770. But if you want a modular power supply the SeaSonic M12II 750 SS-750AM2 is a good choice.  The Corsair C70 is a good choice for a ATX case (great cable management and lots of fan mounts).

There's no AXi version but you can go with the ax650. As for the case, just get whatever you like the look of.

Overkill. A decent my 600-650w is enough.
